Mechanical Properties Card (W)

This card allows the user to assign values to the particle density,porosity,specific storativity,compressibility,and tortuosity functions for each defined rock/soil type. Every rock/soil type defined on the Rock/Soil Zonation Card must be referenced. With the IJK Indexing option, node dependent parameters are entered via external files and node independent parameters are entered directly on the card. For fractured systems, if the dual porosity/permeability option is specified in the Rock/Soil Zonation Card, then mechanical properties for both the matrix and fractures is specified. 

• General information about mechanical properties parameters are provided on the Card Description page.

• Descriptions of the various mechanical property options for STOMP-W are provided on the Card Options page.

• Formatting instructions for specifying mechanical properties for STOMP-W are provided on the Card Syntax page.

• Examples of Mechanical Properties Cards for STOMP-W are provided on the Card Examples page.
